MC 'Hamma' Hammurabi was the first king of the Babylonian Empire who also had an esteemed rapping career. Under his rule, the kingdom of Babylon stretched from the sunny beaches and strip bars of the Gaza Strip to the place where they have a whole piggy bunch of oil. He is also accredited with writing the first set of laws in history, which was later made into book form in the 20th century and became a best-selling classic. Unfortunately, Hammurabi did not live long enough to enjoy any of the revenue earned from sales.
